Fashion's Ugly Side
Ashley Cornil | April 29, 2019
Fashion is glamorous. Fashion is trendsetting. Fashion is the second dirtiest industry in the world.
The fashion industry and its major powerhouses are primed to make radical changes in our supply chains, manufacturing practices and how we get our product to customers.
Sustainable fashion needs more voices, big or small, and here at KIN, we are looking to make some changes to our processes, the materials we source and our carbon footprint.
We started KIN THE LABEL hats knowing that we were not going to kill animals for the sake of making women's wool hats. We vowed to never produce in beaver and fur. Our second initiative is to eliminate all plastic polybags from our supply chain and source materials as close to their origin as possible to cut down our carbon footprint.
Next on our list is to move away from leather, and faux leather which is made of polyurethane. In other words, plastic. Our goal for 2019 is to eliminate single-use materials and look at recycled materials that don't take 100 years to biodegrade.
